Question

This question is under Big O notation topic. 

Little o notation
• Let f(x) and g(x) be nonnegative real-valued functions on
the positive real numbers, and suppose that g(x) is strictly
positive for all x sufficiently large
• We define f (x) = o(g(x)) if for every constant c >0 there
exists a constant d such that f(x) < cg(x) for all x > d.
• Another way to say that is: f(x) = o(g(x)) if
limx→
• Example: If f(x) = 3x + /x and g(x) = 5x, then
f(x) >g(x) and g(x) > f(x) for all x > 0.
Thus f(x) + o(g(x)) and g(x) t o(f(x))
f (x)
og(x)
Example: If a(x) = /x and b(x) = x, then a(x) = o(b(x))
since a(x) < cb(x) for all c < 1 and x >2.
However, b(x) # o(a(x)) since x > Vx for all x > 0.
